The Water Experiment: Day 1/Alyssa: HYDRATED I've got to write this one up quick, I've got school in the morning and have to get to bed :)There have been a few questions about how long this experiment will run. As of tonight, I plan to watch my blood sugars 2 days hydrated and 2 days with less water during the week, and 2 days hydrated and 2 days with less water over the weekends. Everyone else can pick and choose how long they want to participate; I may to a second trial when I finish up with this week.In mg/dL, my blood sugars today, HYDRATED with 126 oz. out water have been:331 332 94 99 64 120 184 197 252 226One reading read 143, however this was invalid as when I washed my hands and tested again, I was actually 120. Therefore it is not included in today's blood sugars.The main difference between yesterday's and today's blood sugars is I got fed up with constantly being 200-300+ every single time I tested, so I ran my blood sugars down :) I ran for 100 minutes today, 5.6 miles, and because this has obviously played such a large part in my blood sugars I will continue running this each day I record my blood sugars. I will also redo yesterday's experiment as I did not run yesterday. The run actually proved to be good for my blood sugars as I've been mostly below 200; I do, however, have a blister on my foot now. :) Average for today is: 189 (.9) mg/dLBetter than yesterday :) That's all I've got for today's update! But glad to see you all trying the Water Experiment, too. Hope it turns out well!I'll update it tomorrow, hopefully with graphs ;),Alyssa NOTE: today's Water Experiment results will also be counted towards weekend data as I did not have school today, and therefore was less active than I usually am at school :)
